I purchased this sleeping pad back in 2022 and have now used it on many camping trips across all seasons. It is a great piece of gear, and has been durable as well as comfortable. Takes a few minutes to inflate but I set up other stuff around camp while it's filling. You can top off with a few breaths if you want firmer sleep. Packing is also simple.My most recent trip was car camping, and the tent site was quite rocky. The Gear Doctor pad really helped sitting on tent floor and tarp. Plus, it was unseasonably chilly and the pad kept me nice and warm under my sleeping bag. I am 6 ft, 180lbs, and it's plenty big. I tend to leave it slightly under inflated so it won't slide and is a bit more comfortable. It's been stomped on, tossed around, stuff dropped on it, and never any issues.It's extremely light, but a little bulky for REALLY ultra-light backpacking. Takes up a decent portion of my 40 liter pack. That said, it works great and beats sleeping on the ground or the thin "yoga mat" style pads.I've been very happy with the Gear Doctors sleeping pad long-term and feel good knowing it has a lifetime warranty. If you're considering it, go for it.

I got this for my DIL for her birthday and she loves it. It's got great ground protection from the cold, and it really does self-inflate. She took it out in the soft snow and laid on it to see how well it works and said she could sleep on it without feeling the temp coming through.It inflates when you open the valve and the foam inside expands to pull in the air. Just like when you squeeze all the air out of a nerf ball and then release the pressure. Give it a full 5-10 minutes to do this [maybe more if it's cold], as the inflation process is very gradual. Leave it alone and come back later and put a couple of breaths in it to firm it up. Then to put it away, you fold it in half and crush it as you roll it [with the valve open of course], and this forces the air back out for storage. The storage bag that comes with it is pretty small, so the mat has to be wound tightly.Oh, and this is incredibly light. Seriously, I just put this back in the Amazon box, wrapped it, and she thought I was pranking her with an empty box.Several caveats:1] The only way to keep this rolled up is to stuff it in the bag, even if you just want to get it out of the way or are temporarily using the bag elsewhere. An attached Velcro strap could solve this.2] This isn't a problem for those in my family, but this is not a mat size for a large adult. My DIL is petite 5'0 so it works well for her, my son's toes hang off the end at 5'9, but even that is pretty comfortable for him. I'm 6'1 and it's a little small for me, though it is certainly better than many other alternatives. It still fits my torso and primary joints. This is a fine tradeoff for most people trying to keep their load light, but just something you should know.3] If the outside material [which is fairly thin but very flexible] gets punctured, you would partially deflate this when you lay on it, meaning your pressure joints will feel the ground more. Even then it will be far better than nothing, but the full effect will be lost. This is more a care issue to be aware of so that you are careful that people or the dog aren't walking on it as you are moving around before or after sleep. Do not abuse this thing, take it in the pool, put it on sharp objects or let the pets and kids play on it. Use it as intended and don't abuse it and you should be fine. If you are thinking about this for snow-sledding, a floor mat or anything else not part of sleeping, consider other choices for that. Don't just fall on it. Like anything else that is filled with air, you could blow a seam and it would likely be irreparable. However, should a puncture happen, I do believe a piece of electrical or duct tape, or even a dab of super glue would probably sufficeMy only other long-term concern is how many times this foam fully expands. She's only used it a few times so everything is great. But I've seen similar foams just get weak and just not have the spring back after 100 uses. Keeping my fingers crossed, but 5 stars for now.Update: She took this with on her latest family camping trip and now it's on a gift list for my son and the oldest grandson. Her only complaint was that people kept "borrowing" it. Still 5 stars and very highly recommended.

Used for the first time on a 13 day hike along the 230k Larapinta trail. It could be a little wider as you can roll off the mat unless on a completely level surface. When you move your body position it is quite noisy. I did have complaints from other camping members regarding the noise so had to camp some distance away. I would not have purchased if I knew how noisy it was.

This is a really well made and comfortable mat. It self inflates within minutes and if you prefer you can just add a bit more sturdiness by blowing a few breaths of air into the nozzle. I was camping in the Cairngorms last week in winter conditions and have used various other mats made by other companies in similar situations but none of them kept me as warm in my sleeping bag as my Gear Doctors one.The actual owner of the family based company Mike has personally contacted me for my opinion of his product and asked if I have had any problems with it which I haven't but was told by him that if there happened to be in the future he assured me that he has given all of his products a warranty that he will stand by 100%I have purchased many products from numerous sellers and have never been notified personally by the owner of the company and to me that speaks volumes of how much pride he takes in both the quality of his work and the opinion and aftercare of his customers.I have already been recommendingGear Doctors to some of my climbingcolleagues.

Excelente colchón para invierno.

Diamo stati 15 gg in Val Ferret in tenda e la temperatura é scesa a 5 gradi. Con Thermarest lite pro R value avevo caldo isolamento permetto dal terreno,quando usavo questo sentivo freddo,R value 5.2 non è assolutamente veritiero,non si congelava ma non si sentiva nemmeno tepore. Il bello di questo materasso sono lo spessore e il peso davvero contenuto
